Juventus concede Puskas contender but fans rage at 'driest commentary ever'

Juventus conceded a potential FIFA Puskas contender during their 2-2 draw with Verona but fans lamented the lack of excitement during the commentary of the thunderous strike

Fans raged at the lack of enthusiasm during commentary of Juventus' clash where they conceded a potential goal of the season contender.

The Serie A giants took on 18th place Verona on Saturday (February 17) where a win for the Old Lady could have cut down the lengthy lead Inter Milan possess at the top of the table.

The game got off to a horrendous start for Juventus who conceded in the 11th minute via a ridiculously special volley scored by Michael Folorunsho. Verona's corner kick was headed out to the outside of the box where the 26-year-old connected with the ball before it touched the ground as he walloped it past Wojciech Szczesny.

While the home fans in the the stadium went berserk, as well as viewers watching on TV, it seems as if the commentators didn't share the same passion considering their dangerous lack of excitement when the goal was scored.

The voice of the commentator was as flat as can be as fans raged on X (formerly Twitter) with one user angrily asking: "Why are these goals always paired with the driest commentary possible?" while another added: "the commentator didn’t even react. What a strike!!!".

A third user suggested: "worst commentator ever for a goal like that?" while a fourth sarcastically commented: "Someone tell the commentator to calm down". While plenty had a go at the commentator, there is a potential explanation for the dry description of Verona's opener.

The game kicked off at 5pm and was subject to Saturday's 3pm blackout which means no matches can be televised from 14:25 to 17:25 on that day in the UK, therefore, the commentary staff may have joined the game halfway through so commentary wasn't live.

While the game eventually ended up as a 2-2 draw with Juventus losing further ground in the title race, boss Massimiliano Allegri admitted the nine-point gap between his side and Inter Milan is no longer a relevant topic.

"I don’t know how much the gap from the top may have had an impact, from today it shouldn’t count anymore," the 56-year-old said. "We got 2 points in 4 games, that’s the certainty."
